A multi-parameter monitor built for all species. The Lightning is endlessly adaptable, growing with your practice for years to come.

With options that include ECG, CO2 , Agent, Pulse- Oximetry, IBP, NIBP and Temperature, the Vetronic Lightning monitor delivers full monitoring performance in a robust, compact unit.

The Lightning is designed to suit your practice needs now and grow along with them, with the ability to be retrofitted with extra parameters as, and when, you require them. If cost is an issue, you can select the basic parameters you require right now, and then purchase additional parameters as it becomes financially sensible to do so. And you do not need to worry about this weighing your exceptionally light and portable monitor down. These parameters are all internal fittings, which we will fit for you in-house. Most of the standard parameters do not require extra plug-in hardware.

Free, in-depth software.

The Lightning software is not only extremely advanced in its capabilities, but it is also completely free, along with any future advancements or software updates, and it can be simply installed on any existing practice PC.

What does the software include?

The software consists of Vital Monitor and Vital Store. Vital Monitor is your live view of your patients’ parameters. Which is completely customisable depending on how you like to work. Unlimited pre-sets allow each member of staff to have the screen set up to their individual preferences at the click of a button.

• Specific parameters can be made larger than others.
• Parameters can be added or removed.
• The trace colours can be changed.
• A trend line and live data are always visible to better understand the patient.
• In the instance of a drastic change in a parameter reading, you can log an event to go back and look at afterwards. This is particularly helpful for ECG readings, giving you time to treat the distressed patient, whilst still knowing you can refer to what was happening at that moment. This supplies you with invaluable data for a reduced time frame for diagnosis.
• Includes all the standard settings that most multi-parameters now have, like standard patient pre-sets.
• The alarm volume can be adjusted.
• The approach alarm – this is an extra alarm that can be activated. This ‘approach’ alarm changes the colours on the screen to signify that a parameter is nearing being out of range. Allowing you to be more proactive with your care, starting to bring those parameters back into range before the alarm goes off.
• Connect to a PC through a cable or use the wireless module to view the live data on a large screen. The cable can be up to 15m long, and the Wi-Fi will travel up to 40m from the monitor, enabling you to view the patient’s vitals from a different room.
• When using the wireless module, up to 8 patients can be monitored simultaneously, which is ideal for large hospitals.
• Automatic anaesthetic monitoring charts – these do not take away from the manual charts that are logged by the vet nurse, but they can be sent directly to the patient record, provide a backup copy, and ensure complete accuracy. The Lightning monitor will run these charts automatically.
